#**The Break Room - OOC/FAQs**
RPing can be pretty hard work, and new people can often have lots of questions that aren't always answered by helpful links. So, who better to ask than the denizens of the Board? So, if you're new or unsure about something, drop us a post and we'll answer it as best we can! Most of us don't bite.
If you aren't asking questions, come on in and talk about anything, be it an RP you're planning, a fun new game, or just to chat with other people in the community who are also taking a break from writing. Get to know them better! Take a load off your fingers, and say hello!
Just remember, as an "OOC Thread" there shouldn't be any In-Character actions taking place with any kind of length or seriousness, unless it's completely goofy or non-serious. Just keep it to a minimum. But, otherwise, share videos, discuss plots, get feedback for your characters, all that. Above all else, be respectful, and have fun!

We're testing a new feature that gives the option to view discussion comments in chronological order. Some testers have pointed out situations in which they feel a linear view could be helpful, so we'd like see how you guys make use of it.

Welcome to the League RPing Board!
#RPing Culture
Always wanted to be a part of the Runeterra Universe? Ever wanted to interact with others and make stories together in the world of League of Legends? Well look no further than the Roleplaying Boards! Interact with other users as an original character, or simply ask a few of your favorite champions questions! Want to roleplay a champion? See if they're available in the Champion Compendium, level a smurf, and tell their story in a living, vibrant world created by other users just like you! We value creativity tempered by an understanding of the lore and limits of the universe, and strive to create a fun environment for all who play here. So, if you want to interact with a closely-knit community or creative minds who love making stories together, we welcome you to the Official Roleplaying Boards!

**ALWAYS READ THE FIRST POST**
#General Rules of Thumb
**Don’t Assume:**
If you are unsure or simply curious about something, especially about other people's characters, ask! Communication is vital.
**Be Familiar with Basic Terms:**
[OOC](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=OOC), [IC](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=IC), Open RP (Anyone can join), Semi-Open RP (Ask first, get permission), Closed RP (Only certain people may post)
**Create a Character:**
For the convenience of yourself and others, take the time to create a Profile for your character. Using something like a Google Doc or a Pastebin with a simple link for others to read about your character is vital. This profile allows for easy linking and easier RPing for all involved. That said, we strive to avoid crossovers from other games or fandoms. Characters should be from the universe of League of Legends, so keep that in mind. And, if you want to RP as a Champion, be sure to check the [Ask Champion Compendium](http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/roleplaying/V0JcVrj0-the-ask-champion-compendium) to see if they are available before doing so!
**Do not **[**God Mod**]( http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=god%20modding):
This is a community-driven environment, and as such, you cannot be invincible. Be respectful and mindful of limits. Other people want to be cool too. Don’t be a [Bulrog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPA9bKz2meI).
**Be Descriptive:**
Simply put, add a description, small or otherwise, about how the place and your character looks! It breathes life not only to your thread, but also to the world itself. A little can go a long way.
**Know the Lore:**
When interacting with champions, or with others on the forums, it's a good idea to know the lore before approaching - it helps you get a grasp of their person and allows you to plan your first move accordingly. This is especially true for Champions. The best source for all things League Lore is the [League Wiki]( http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/League_of_Legends_Wiki).
**Spice it up with Outside Resources:**
Music links, pictures, perhaps even quotes can add life to a story or situation. Don’t be afraid to use them to set the scene!
